I commissioned this from Thom (Love & Capes) Zahler in honor of my 20th wedding anniversary at the 2012 Baltimore Comic-Con. I got the final print and the original B/W at this years' Comic-Con. Even though it's a year old, it still applies today!!!

It’s 0330 on
a Saturday morning and tears have been streaming down my face to my pillow for
some time now. I’ve finally determined
that the best course of action is to get my thoughts down on “paper” as we used
to say (and do). The impact of last
night’s play performance at two of my children’s high school in Columbia,
Maryland is still in full effect. The best
compliment I can make to the cast and the production staff is that they brought
Wilder’s work to life and moved me deeply.

This
review/reflection may be a bit of a ramble as I try to sort out what I’m
feeling and as is often the case on this site there will be SPOILERS. What is a theatre review doing on a (now
generally dormant) blog about comic books?
Well, our blog title does include the phrase “And Other Imaginary Tales”. And as the playbill blatantly declares, Our Town is a “fictional town”.
